The Wider Image: Sea superfood: Can seaweed help solve Ireland's cow methane problem?
Coleman Dundass, a seaweed harvester, ties up three 'climin', each of which are a two-tonne seaweed bundle that he gathered, as he stands in his currach boat in Kilkieran, Ireland, September 10, 2021. Scientists are combing Ireland's west coast for seaweed to feed to cattle and sheep after research showed it could stop them breathing out so much climate-warming methane. The project, coordinated by state agriculture body Teagasc, is tapping into the country's growing seaweed harvesting industry, which is seeking new markets as it revives centuries-old traditions.
